SHAREOWNER LETTER2014
March 1, 2014
We had very good performance in another weakish year in the global economy. We
were able to grow sales 4% to $39.1 billion and earnings per share* by 11% to $4.97. Our
segment margin rate grew 70 basis points to 16.3% and free cash flow
**
grew to $3.8 billion, a
96% conversion rate.
**
As usual, we also took the opportunity to continue our seed
plantingproducts, technologies, restructuring, geographies, services, processes, new
capacityto ensure that growth continues far into the future.
Five-Year Plan
The year 2014 is the last in the five-year plan (2010-2014) Honeywell introduced in
March 2010. Despite economic and foreign exchange headwinds versus what we assumed
then, weve performed quite well as you can see from the chart below.

Segment Margin Rate
We estimate that those headwinds versus our original macro assumptions cost us about
$3 billion in sales over the 2010-2014 period. Even with those headwinds, we expect to
almost touch the bottom of the targeted sales range growing sales 6% annually and expect to
be around the midpoint of the margin rate range (a margin rate increase of approximately 350
basis points).
While there was a lot of skepticism in 2010 about our five-year plan, our performance
has generated a lot of interest in the next five-year plan covering 2014-2018. We will be
introducing it at Investor Day on March 5. Our intent, of course, is to continue outperforming
our peers, and we look forward to discussing it with you.
Business Model
That outperformance will continue through the application of our Business Modela
great portfolio of businesses, a focus on internal processes, and a culture that learns,
evolves, and performs. With the recently announced divestiture of Friction Materials, were
now at a point where 99% of the Companys sales come from Great Positions in Good
Industries. That is, markets where we can win with differentiated technology. Thats a nice
position to be in and allows us to use our disciplined acquisition process to fuel further
growth.
* Proforma, V% exclude pension mark-to-market adjustment
** Free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) and free cash flow conversion prior to any cash pension
contributions, NARCO Trust establishment payments and cash taxes relating to the sale of available for sale investments
There is a lot more opportunity to ensure the machinery works better every day through
our key process drivers the Honeywell Operating System (HOS), Velocity Product
Development (VPD), and Functional Transformation (FT). Improving those processes
constantly allows our 131,000+ employees to be more efficient and effective every day. We
can make all kinds of great business and strategic decisions, but if there arent great
processes to implement them, it doesnt matter much.
Culture is equally important to sustained performance. The ability to learn and evolve
faster than our markets, to be a Thinking Company, to recognize The Trick is in the Doing,
to see the difference between Compliance with Words and Compliance with Intent, the
ability to accomplish Two Seemingly Conflicting Goals at the Same Time, to achieve our
quarterly targets while Seed Planting for quarters three years from now. Culture makes a
difference... and ours is hugely different from what it was.
Leadership
Our Business Model works because we have terrific leaders to make it happen.
Leadership also makes a difference.
I often say that Leadership requires three elements of which only one is very visible. The
first is the ability to mobilize or excite a workforce. This one is the most visible, gets the most
attention, and Id say is only 5% of the job of a leader. The second element is the ability to
pick the right directionand to be able to do it even in the face of whats considered
collective wisdom at the time. Some have referred to that collective wisdom as Fad Surfing,
a term I like myself because thats exactly what happens. Many leadership errors occur
because leaders follow fads and dont think for themselves. The third element is the ability to
get the entire organization moving step-by-step in the right direction. This one is tough
because many leaders start to think their job is to just make the decisions and let others
handle the step-by-step, get it done, work. Thats also a leadership mistake. Leaders have to
be involved in ensuring that step-by-step the organization moves in the right direction. That
the machinery works. Thats not micro management, thats leadership that understands no
good decision is worth anything unless it actually gets done.
Our strength as a company has been those second and third elements that arent as
visible but that represent 95% of leadership. Having a sound, consistent strategy and
executing against it day-by-day. Letting our competitors be the guys making the wonderful
new strategic shifts every couple of years that get a lot of attentionand no results.
Cash Deployment
Our focus on implementing the Business Model and having the right kinds of leaders has
shown up in operating results, stock performance, and cash flow. That has resulted in a cash
balance at year end of $6.4 billion and debt of $8.8 billion causing a lot of investor questions
along the lines of, So Dave, what are you going to do with the cash? My first response is
that no one should worry about me blowing it or doing something silly. After 12 years in this
job, its really nice Investors generally accept that, because they werent so sure in the
beginning.
Our first priority is to continue driving superior cash flow by having high quality earnings.
That is, to have a high free cash flow conversion rate** (Free Cash Flow** divided by Net
Income*). In this decade we have averaged about 122% free cash flow conversion** meaning
very high-quality earnings.
The next priority is to ensure we invest in our businesses. We have to keep seed
planting. Thats particularly noteworthy now as we invest more heavily in Performance
Materials and Technologies (PMT) for new production capacity to support orders weve
already won. Thats a very nice position to be in where plants are basically full the day they
are completed. Well spend an additional $300 million of CAPEX in 2014 and about the same
amount again in 2015 largely driven by PMT plant projects. These are high IRR (Internal Rate
of Return) projects and a great use of shareowner funds to drive future performance in cash
and earnings.
The next priority is to pay a strong competitive dividend that we can be reasonably
confident will never be cut. Importantly, shareowners should have reasonable confidence that
the dividend will continue to grow in the future as we perform. Over the last 10 years we have
increased our dividend per share 140% from $0.75 to $1.80 per annum.
I used to say that after CAPEX and dividends, there were two other potential uses for
cashshare repurchases and acquisitions. Now I would add a third and that is to let cash
build a bit. When it comes to share repurchases, we want to do enough on an ongoing basis
to keep share count flat. Beyond that, we want to be opportunistic so were buying at the right
time. Studies estimate that nearly two out of three companies in the S&P 500 repurchase at
the wrong time. Id say the 2007 big repurchase we did wasnt one of my better decisions.
While we repurchased at an average price of $54 and today its about $90 (so it wasnt that
bad), it sure would have felt better to have that $4 billion in the middle of the recession when
the stock price dropped to $23.23. Our repurchase strategy is to do enough on an ongoing
basis to hold share count flat (dollar cost averaging if you will) and be opportunistic for bigger
amounts when we can be confident we will be in the one third of companies that get the
timing right.
Letting cash build a bit will also let us be opportunistic to do more smart acquisitions,
something we do very well and now have a lot of credibility given our performance. We
continue to adhere to a rigorous, disciplined process that results in not overpaying, great
execution, and terrific results for shareowners. We have four major stepsidentification,
valuation, due diligence, and integration. We developed this process internally and it works.
That adherence to discipline begins with me. For any deal over $50 million I personally
conduct the integration review pre-close, at 30-60-90 days, and quarterly thereafter for at
least a year to ensure we are performing as we said we would. We also never allow sales
synergies to be included in a valuation model. We do achieve good sales synergies and they
are a nice return upside, but I dont want anyone counting on them. The process works.
The problem with good acquisitions is that the timing is unpredictable. I cant say with
confidence how much well be able to spend in any year. Ive likened it to being in a retail
store where from 10AM to 2PM no one comes in and at 2:07PM, six people walk in at the
same time. We have to be ready when the time comes to take advantage of the opportunity.
* Proforma, excludes pension mark-to-market adjustment
** Free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) and free cash flow conversion prior to any cash pension
contributions, NARCO Trust establishment payments and cash taxes relating to the sale of available for sale investments. 2008
free cash flow excludes cash taxes related to the sale of the Consumable Solutions business.
That ability to be opportunistic with both buybacks and acquisitions is why letting some
cash build gives us that flexibility. Additionally given the uncertainty of the economic times,
who knows what will happen? In uncertain times, cash is a good friend to have.
Summary
Were really proud of what weve been able to accomplish and even more excited about
where all our Seed Planting is going to take us.
Our Leaders will continue to focus on the customer and understand that if we dont do a
good job for customers in quality, delivery, new products, and project delivery then there
wont be any success for our employees or our investors. Our customers success is our
success.
Its exciting to be at Honeywell. We look forward to sharing our new five-year plan with
you at Investor Day on March 5.

Aerospace Sales
Our sales to aerospace customers were 31, 32, and 31 percent of our total sales in 2013, 2012
and 2011, respectively. Our sales to commercial aerospace original equipment manufacturers were 7,
7, and 6 percent of our total sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, our sales to
commercial aftermarket customers of aerospace products and services were 11, 12, and 11 percent of
our total sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011. Our Aerospace results of operations can be impacted by
various industry and economic conditions. See Item 1A. Risk Factors.
U.S. Government Sales
Sales to the U.S. Government (principally by our Aerospace segment), acting through its various
departments and agencies and through prime contractors, amounted to $3,856, $4,109 and $4,276
million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which included sales to the U.S. Department of Defense,
as a prime contractor and subcontractor, of $3,066, $3,273 and $3,374 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. U.S. defense spending decreased in 2013 compared to 2012. Due to anticipated lower
U.S. Government spending levels mandated by the Budget Control Act (sequestration), we expect a
slight decline in our defense and space revenue in 2014. We do not expect our overall operating
results to be significantly affected by any proposed changes in 2014 federal defense spending due
principally to the varied mix of the government programs which impact us (OEM production,
engineering development programs, aftermarket spares and repairs and overhaul programs), increases
in direct foreign defense and space market sales, as well as our diversified commercial businesses.
10
Our contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to audits, investigations, and termination by the
government. See Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Backlog
Our total backlog at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $16,523 and $16,307 million, respectively.
We anticipate that approximately $12,262 million of the 2013 backlog will be filled in 2014. We believe
that backlog is not necessarily a reliable indicator of our future sales because a substantial portion of
the orders constituting this backlog may be canceled at the customers option.
Competition
We are subject to active competition in substantially all product and service areas. Competition is
expected to continue in all geographic regions. Competitive conditions vary widely among the
thousands of products and services provided by us, and vary by country. Our businesses compete on
a variety of factors, such as price, quality, reliability, delivery, customer service, performance, applied
technology, product innovation and product recognition. Brand identity, service to customers and
quality are important competitive factors for our products and services, and there is considerable price
competition. Other competitive factors include breadth of product line, research and development
efforts and technical and managerial capability. While our competitive position varies among our
products and services, we believe we are a significant competitor in each of our major product and
service classes. A number of our products and services are sold in competition with those of a large
number of other companies, some of which have substantial financial resources and significant
technological capabilities. In addition, some of our products compete with the captive component
divisions of original equipment manufacturers. See Item 1A Risk Factors for further discussion.
International Operations
We are engaged in manufacturing, sales, service and research and development globally. U.S.
exports and foreign manufactured products are significant to our operations. U.S. exports comprised
14, 14 and 12 percent of our total sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Foreign manufactured
products and services, mainly in Europe and Asia, were 41, 41 and 43 percent of our total sales in
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Approximately 23 percent of total 2013 sales of Aerospace-related products and services were
exports of U.S. manufactured products and systems and performance of services such as aircraft
repair and overhaul. Exports were principally made to Europe, Asia, Canada, and Latin America.
Foreign manufactured products and systems and performance of services comprised approximately
16 percent of total 2013 Aerospace sales. The principal manufacturing facilities outside the U.S. are in
Europe, with less significant operations in Canada and Asia.
Approximately 3 percent of total 2013 sales of Automation and Control Solutions products and
services were exports of U.S. manufactured products. Foreign manufactured products and
performance of services accounted for 57 percent of total 2013 Automation and Control Solutions
sales. The principal manufacturing facilities outside the U.S. are in Europe and Asia, with less
significant operations in Canada and Australia.
Approximately 30 percent of total 2013 sales of Performance Materials and Technologies products
and services were exports of U.S. manufactured products. Exports were principally made to Asia and
Latin America. Foreign manufactured products and performance of services comprised 23 percent of
total 2013 Performance Materials and Technologies sales. The principal manufacturing facilities
outside the U.S. are in Europe and Asia.
Approximately 4 percent of total 2013 sales of Transportation Systems products were exports of
U.S. manufactured products. Foreign manufactured products accounted for 84 percent of total 2013
sales of Transportation Systems. The principal manufacturing facilities outside the U.S. are in Europe,
with less significant operations in Asia.

Financial information including net sales and long-lived assets related to geographic areas is
included in Note 25 of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data. Information regarding the economic, political, regulatory and other risks
associated with international operations is included in Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used in our operations are generally readily available. Although we
occasionally experience disruption in raw materials supply, we experienced no significant problems in
the purchase of key raw materials and commodities in 2013. We are not dependent on any one
supplier for a material amount of our raw materials, except related to R240 (a key component in foam
blowing agents), a raw material used in our Performance Materials and Technologies segment.
The costs of certain key raw materials, including cumene, fluorspar, R240, natural gas,
perchloroethylene, sulfur and ethylene in our Performance Materials and Technologies business,
nickel, steel and other metals in our Transportation Systems business, and nickel, titanium and other
metals in our Aerospace business, are expected to continue to fluctuate. We will continue to attempt to
offset raw material cost increases with formula or long-term supply agreements, price increases and
hedging activities where feasible. We do not presently anticipate that a shortage of raw materials will
cause any material adverse impacts during 2014. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses and Distribution Rights
Our segments are not dependent upon any single patent or related group of patents, or any
licenses or distribution rights. We own, or are licensed under, a large number of patents, patent
applications and trademarks acquired over a period of many years, which relate to many of our
products or improvements to those products and which are of importance to our business. From time
to time, new patents and trademarks are obtained, and patent and trademark licenses and rights are
acquired from others. We also have distribution rights of varying terms for a number of products and
services produced by other companies. In our judgment, those rights are adequate for the conduct of
our business. We believe that, in the aggregate, the rights under our patents, trademarks and licenses
are generally important to our operations, but we do not consider any patent, trademark or related
group of patents, or any licensing or distribution rights related to a specific process or product, to be of
material importance in relation to our total business. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion.
We have registered trademarks for a number of our products and services, including Honeywell,
Aclar, Ademco, Bendix, BW, Callidus, Enovate, Esser, Fire-Lite, Garrett, Genetron, Gent, Howard
Leight, Intermec, Jurid, Matrikon, Maxon, MK, North, Notifier, Novar, Oleflex, Parex, RAE Systems,
RMG, Silent Knight, Solstice, Spectra, System Sensor, Trend, Tridium and UOP.
Research and Development
Our research activities are directed toward the discovery and development of new products,
technologies and processes, and the development of new uses for existing products and software
applications. The Companys principal research and development activities are in the U.S., India,
Europe and China.
Research and development (R&D) expense totaled $1,804, $1,847 and $1,799 million in 2013,
2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in R&D expense of 2 percent in 2013 compared to 2012
was primarily due to lower pension (primarily due to the absence of U.S. pension mark-to-market
adjustment in 2013) and other postretirement expenses, partially offset by the increased expenditures
for new product development in our Automation and Control Solutions and Performance Materials
Technologies segments. The increase in R&D expense of 3 percent in 2012 compared to 2011 was
mainly due to increased expenditures on the development of new technologies to support existing and
new aircraft platforms in our Aerospace segment and new product development in our Automation and
Control Solutions and Performance Materials Technologies segments. R&D as a percentage of sales
was 4.6, 4.9 and 4.9 percent in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Customer-sponsored (principally
12
the U.S. Government) R&D activities amounted to an additional $969, $835 and $867 million in 2013,
2012 and 2011, respectively.
Environment
We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements regulating the
discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. It
is our policy to comply with these requirements, and we believe that, as a general matter, our policies,
practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental
damage, and of resulting financial liability, in connection with our business. Some risk of environmental
damage is, however, inherent in some of our operations and products, as it is with other companies
engaged in similar businesses.
We are and have been engaged in the handling, manufacture, use and disposal of many
substances classified as hazardous by one or more regulatory agencies. We believe that, as a general
matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of
environmental damage and personal injury, and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of
these substances are in accord with environmental and safety laws and regulations. It is possible,
however, that future knowledge or other developments, such as improved capability to detect
substances in the environment or increasingly strict environmental laws and standards and
enforcement policies, could bring into question our current or past handling, manufacture, use or
disposal of these substances.
Among other environmental requirements, we are subject to the federal superfund and similar
state and foreign laws and regulations, under which we have been designated as a potentially
responsible party that may be liable for cleanup costs associated with current and former operating
sites and various hazardous waste sites, some of which are on the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agencys Superfund priority list. Although, under some court interpretations of these laws, there is a
possibility that a responsible party might have to bear more than its proportional share of the cleanup
costs if it is unable to obtain appropriate contribution from other responsible parties, to date we have
not had to bear significantly more than our proportional share in multi-party situations taken as a whole.
We do not believe that existing or pending climate change legislation, regulation, or international
treaties or accords are reasonably likely to have a material effect in the foreseeable future on the
Companys business or markets that it serves, nor on its results of operations, capital expenditures or
financial position. We will continue to monitor emerging developments in this area.
Further information, including the current status of significant environmental matters and the
financial impact incurred for remediation of such environmental matters, if any, is included in Item 7.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements
We have described many of the trends and other factors that drive our business and future results
in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,
including the overview of the Company and each of our segments and the discussion of their
respective economic and other factors and areas of focus for 2014. These sections and other parts of
this report (including this Item 1A) contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Forward-looking statements are those that address activities, events or developments that
management intends, expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. They
are based on managements assumptions and assessments in light of past experience and trends,
current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments and other relevant factors.
They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business
decisions may differ significantly from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. We do not
undertake to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements
are also subject to risks and uncertainties that can affect our performance in both the near-and long-
term. These forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the information included in this
Form 10-K, including, in particular, the factors discussed below.
Risk Factors
Our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition are subject to the risks and
uncertainties set forth below, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from
recent results or from our anticipated future results.
Industry and economic conditions may adversely affect the markets and operating
conditions of our customers, which in turn can affect demand for our products and services
and our results of operations.
The operating results of our segments are impacted by general global industry and economic
conditions that can cause changes in spending and capital investment patterns, demand for our
products and services and the level of our manufacturing and shipping costs. The operating results of
our Aerospace segment, which generated 31 percent of our consolidated revenues in 2013, are directly
tied to cyclical industry and economic conditions, including global demand for air travel as reflected in
new aircraft production, the deferral or cancellation of orders for new aircraft, delays in launch
schedules for new aircraft platforms, the retirement of aircraft, global flying hours, and business and
general aviation aircraft utilization rates, as well as changes in customer buying patterns with respect
to aftermarket parts, supplier consolidation, factory transitions, capacity constraints, and the level and
mix of U.S. and foreign government appropriations for defense and space programs (as further
discussed in other risk factors below). The challenging operating environment faced by the commercial
airline industry may be influenced by a wide variety of factors including global flying hours, aircraft fuel
prices, labor issues, airline consolidation, airline insolvencies, terrorism and safety concerns as well as
changes in regulations. Future terrorist actions or pandemic health issues could dramatically reduce
both the demand for air travel and our Aerospace aftermarket sales and margins. The operating results
of our Automation and Control Solutions (ACS) segment, which generated 42 percent of our
consolidated revenues in 2013, are impacted by the level of global residential and commercial
construction (including retrofits and upgrades), capital spending and operating expenditures on building
and process automation, industrial plant capacity utilization and expansion, inventory levels in
distribution channels, and global economic growth rates. Performance Materials and Technologies
operating results, which generated 17 percent of our consolidated revenues in 2013, are impacted by
global economic growth rates, capacity utilization for chemical, industrial, refining, petrochemical and
semiconductor plants, our customers availability of capital for refinery construction and expansion, and
raw material demand and supply volatility. Transportation Systems operating results, which generated
10 percent of our consolidated revenues in 2013, are impacted by global production and demand for
14
automobiles and trucks equipped with turbochargers, and regulatory changes regarding automobile
and truck emissions and fuel economy, delays in launch schedules for new automotive platforms, and
consumer demand and spending for automotive aftermarket products. Demand of global automotive
and truck manufacturers will continue to be influenced by a wide variety of factors, including ability of
consumers to obtain financing, ability to reduce operating costs and overall consumer and business
confidence. Each of the segments is impacted by volatility in raw material prices (as further described
below) and non-material inflation.
Raw material price fluctuations, the ability of key suppliers to meet quality and delivery
requirements, or catastrophic events can increase the cost of our products and services,
impact our ability to meet commitments to customers and cause us to incur significant
liabilities.
The cost of raw materials is a key element in the cost of our products, particularly in our
Performance Materials and Technologies (cumene, fluorspar, R240, natural gas, perchloroethylene,
sulfur and ethylene), Transportation Systems (nickel, steel and other metals) and Aerospace (nickel,
titanium and other metals) segments. Our inability to offset material price inflation through increased
prices to customers, formula or long-term fixed price contracts with suppliers, productivity actions or
through commodity hedges could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our manufacturing operations are also highly dependent upon the delivery of materials (including
raw materials) by outside suppliers and their assembly of major components, and subsystems used in
our products in a timely manner and in full compliance with purchase order terms and conditions,
quality standards, and applicable laws and regulations. In addition, many major components, product
equipment items and raw materials are procured or subcontracted on a single-source basis with a
number of domestic and foreign companies; in some circumstances these suppliers are the sole
source of the component or equipment. Although we maintain a qualification and performance
surveillance process to control risk associated with such reliance on third parties and we believe that
sources of supply for raw materials and components are generally adequate, it is difficult to predict
what effects shortages or price increases may have in the future. Our ability to manage inventory and
meet delivery requirements may be constrained by our suppliers inability to scale production and
adjust delivery of long-lead time products during times of volatile demand. Our suppliers may fail to
perform according to specifications as and when required and we may be unable to identify alternate
suppliers or to otherwise mitigate the consequences of their non-performance. The supply chains for
our businesses could also be disrupted by suppliers decisions to exit certain businesses, bankruptcy
and by external events such as natural disasters, extreme weather events, pandemic health issues,
terrorist actions, labor disputes, governmental actions and legislative or regulatory changes (e.g.,
product certification or stewardship requirements, sourcing restrictions, product authenticity, climate
change or greenhouse gas emission standards, etc.). Our inability to fill our supply needs would
jeopardize our ability to fulfill obligations under commercial and government contracts, which could, in
turn, result in reduced sales and profits, contract penalties or terminations, and damage to customer
relationships. Transitions to new suppliers may result in significant costs and delays, including those
related to the required recertification of parts obtained from new suppliers with our customers and/or
regulatory agencies. In addition, because our businesses cannot always immediately adapt their cost
structure to changing market conditions, our manufacturing capacity for certain products may at times
exceed or fall short of our production requirements, which could adversely impact our operating costs,
profitability and customer and supplier relationships.
Our facilities, distribution systems and information technology systems are subject to catastrophic
loss due to, among other things, fire, flood, terrorism or other natural or man-made disasters. If any of
these facilities or systems were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt our operations, result
in personal injury or property damage, damage relationships with our customers and result in large
expenses to repair or replace the facilities or systems, as well as result in other liabilities and adverse
impacts. The same risk could also arise from the failure of critical systems supplied by Honeywell to
large industrial, refining and petrochemical customers.
15
Failure to increase productivity through sustainable operational improvements, as well as an
inability to successfully execute repositioning projects, may reduce our profitability or
adversely impact our businesses
Our profitability and margin growth are dependent upon our ability to drive sustainable
improvements through the Honeywell Enablers. In addition, we seek productivity and cost savings
benefits through repositioning actions and projects, such as consolidation of manufacturing facilities,
transitions to cost-competitive regions and product line rationalizations. Risks associated with these
actions include delays in execution of the planned initiatives, additional unexpected costs, adverse
effects on employee morale and the failure to meet operational targets due to employee attrition. Many
of the restructuring actions are complex and difficult to implement. Hence, we may not realize the full
operational or financial benefits we expected, the recognition of these benefits may be delayed and
these actions may potentially disrupt our operations. See Note 3 Repositioning and Other Charges of
Notes to the Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for a
summary of our repositioning actions.
Our future growth is largely dependent upon our ability to develop new technologies that
achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins.
Our businesses operate in global markets that are characterized by rapidly changing technologies
and evolving industry standards. Accordingly, our future growth rate depends upon a number of
factors, including our ability to (i) identify emerging technological trends in our target end-markets, (ii)
develop and maintain competitive products, (iii) enhance our products by adding innovative features
that differentiate our products from those of our competitors and prevent commoditization of our
products, (iv) develop, manufacture and bring products to market quickly and cost-effectively, and (v)
develop and retain individuals with the requisite expertise.
Our ability to develop new products based on technological innovation can affect our competitive
position and requires the investment of significant resources. These development efforts divert
resources from other potential investments in our businesses, and they may not lead to the
development of new technologies or products on a timely basis or that meet the needs of our
customers as fully as competitive offerings. In addition, the markets for our products may not develop
or grow as we currently anticipate. The failure of our technologies or products to gain market
acceptance due to more attractive offerings by our competitors could significantly reduce our revenues
and adversely affect our competitive standing and prospects.
Protecting our intellectual property is critical to our innovation efforts.
We own or are licensed under a large number of U.S. and non-U.S. patents and patent
applications, trademarks and copyrights. Our intellectual property rights may expire or be challenged,
invalidated or infringed upon by third parties or we may be unable to maintain, renew or enter into new
licenses of third party proprietary intellectual property on commercially reasonable terms. In some non-
U.S. countries, laws affecting intellectual property are uncertain in their application, which can affect
the scope or enforceability of our patents and other intellectual property rights. Any of these events or
factors could diminish or cause us to lose the competitive advantages associated with our intellectual
property, subject us to judgments, penalties and significant litigation costs, and/or temporarily or
permanently disrupt our sales and marketing of the affected products or services.
Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and
confidential information, and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.
Global cybersecurity threats and incidents can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to
gain unauthorized access to information technology (IT) systems to sophisticated and targeted
measures known as advanced persistent threats, directed at the Company and/or its third party service
providers. While we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, these types of threats
and incidents, none of them to date have been material to the Company. Although we employ
comprehensive measures to prevent, detect, address and mitigate these threats (including access
16
controls, data encryption, vulnerability assessments, continuous monitoring of our IT networks and
systems and maintenance of backup and protective systems), cybersecurity incidents, depending on
their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption or
unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties)
and the disruption of business operations. The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity
incident include reputational damage, litigation with third parties, diminution in the value of our
investment in research, development and engineering, and increased cybersecurity protection and
remediation costs, which in turn could adversely affect our competitiveness and results of operations.
An increasing percentage of our sales and operations is in non-U.S. jurisdictions and is
subject to the economic, political, regulatory and other risks of international operations.
Our international operations, including U.S. exports, comprise a growing proportion of our
operating results. Our strategy calls for increasing sales to and operations in overseas markets,
including developing markets such as China, India, the Middle East and other high growth regions.
In 2013, approximately 55 percent of our total sales (including products manufactured in the U.S.
and sold outside the U.S. as well as products manufactured in international locations) were outside of
the U.S. including approximately 29 percent in Europe and approximately 13 percent in Asia. Risks
related to international operations include exchange control regulations, wage and price controls,
employment regulations, foreign investment laws, import, export and other trade restrictions (such as
embargoes), changes in regulations regarding transactions with state-owned enterprises, nationaliza-
tion of private enterprises, government instability, acts of terrorism, and our ability to hire and maintain
qualified staff and maintain the safety of our employees in these regions. We are also subject to U.S.
laws prohibiting companies from doing business in certain countries, or restricting the type of business
that may be conducted in these countries. The cost of compliance with increasingly complex and often
conflicting regulations worldwide can also impair our flexibility in modifying product, marketing, pricing
or other strategies for growing our businesses, as well as our ability to improve productivity and
maintain acceptable operating margins.
With more than half of the Companys sales generated internationally, global economic conditions
can have a significant impact on our total sales. Uncertain global economic conditions arising from a
tepid recovery in the Euro zone and varying rates of growth in emerging regions could reduce
customer confidence that results in decreased demand for our products and services, disruption in
payment patterns and higher default rates, a tightening of credit markets (see risk factor below
regarding volatility of credit markets for further discussion) and increased risk regarding supplier
performance. Volatility in exchange rates of emerging market currencies present uncertainties that
complicate planning and could unexpectedly impact our profitability, presenting increased counterparty
risk with respect to the financial institutions with whom we do business. While we employ
comprehensive controls regarding global cash management to guard against cash or investment loss
and to ensure our ability to fund our operations and commitments, a material disruption to the financial
institutions with whom we transact business could expose Honeywell to financial loss.
Sales and purchases in currencies other than the US dollar expose us to fluctuations in foreign
currencies relative to the US dollar and may adversely affect our results of operations. Currency
fluctuations may affect product demand and prices we pay for materials, as a result, our operating
margins may be negatively impacted. Fluctuations in exchange rates may give rise to translation gains
or losses when financial statements of our non-U.S. businesses are translated into U.S. dollars. While
we monitor our exchange rate exposures and seek to reduce the risk of volatility through hedging
activities, such activities bear a financial cost and may not always be available to us or successful in
significantly mitigating such volatility.
Volatility of credit markets or macro-economic factors could adversely affect our business.
Changes in U.S. and global financial and equity markets, including market disruptions, limited
liquidity, and interest rate volatility, may increase the cost of financing as well as the risks of refinancing
maturing debt. In addition, our borrowing costs can be affected by short and long-term ratings assigned
by independent rating agencies. A decrease in these ratings could increase our cost of borrowing.
17
Delays in our customers ability to obtain financing, or the unavailability of financing to our
customers, could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flow. The inability of our suppliers
to obtain financing could result in the need to transition to alternate suppliers, which could result in
significant incremental cost and delay, as discussed above. Lastly, disruptions in the U.S. and global
financial markets could impact the financial institutions with which we do business.
We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our long-lived assets or available
for sale investments.
At December 31, 2013, the net carrying value of long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment,
goodwill and other intangible assets) and available for sale securities totaled approximately $20.8
billion and $0.8 billion, respectively. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we
periodically assess these assets to determine if they are impaired. Significant negative industry or
economic trends, disruptions to our business, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in
use of the assets, divestitures and market capitalization declines may result in impairments to goodwill
and other long-lived assets. An other than temporary decline in the market value of our available for
sale securities may also result in an impairment charge. Future impairment charges could significantly
affect our results of operations in the periods recognized. Impairment charges would also reduce our
consolidated shareowners equity and increase our debt-to-total-capitalization ratio, which could
negatively impact our credit rating and access to the public debt and equity markets.
A change in the level of U.S. Government defense and space funding or the mix of
programs to which such funding is allocated could adversely impact Aerospaces defense
and space sales and results of operations.
Sales of our defense and space-related products and services are largely dependent upon
government budgets, particularly the U.S. defense budget. Sales as a prime contractor and
subcontractor to the U.S. Department of Defense comprised approximately 25 percent and 8 percent
of Aerospace and total sales, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013. We cannot predict
the extent to which total funding and/or funding for individual programs will be included, increased or
reduced as part of the 2014 and subsequent budgets ultimately approved by Congress, or be included
in the scope of separate supplemental appropriations. We also cannot predict the impact of potential
changes in priorities due to military transformation and planning and/or the nature of war-related
activity on existing, follow-on or replacement programs. A shift in defense or space spending to
programs in which we do not participate and/or reductions in funding for or termination of existing
programs could adversely impact our results of operations.
As a supplier of military and other equipment to the U.S. Government, we are subject to
unusual risks, such as the right of the U.S. Government to terminate contracts for
convenience and to conduct audits and investigations of our operations and performance.
In addition to normal business risks, companies like Honeywell that supply military and other
equipment to the U.S. Government are subject to unusual risks, including dependence on
Congressional appropriations and administrative allotment of funds, changes in governmental
procurement legislation and regulations and other policies that reflect military and political
developments, significant changes in contract requirements, complexity of designs and the rapidity
with which they become obsolete, necessity for frequent design improvements, intense competition for
U.S. Government business necessitating increases in time and investment for design and
development, difficulty of forecasting costs and schedules when bidding on developmental and highly
sophisticated technical work, and other factors characteristic of the industry, such as contract award
protests and delays in the timing of contract approvals. Changes are customary over the life of U.S.
Government contracts, particularly development contracts, and generally result in adjustments to
contract prices and schedules.
Our contracts with the U.S. Government are also subject to various government audits. Like many
other government contractors, we have received audit reports that recommend downward price
adjustments to certain contracts or changes to certain accounting systems or controls to comply with
18
various government regulations. When appropriate and prudent, we have made adjustments and paid
voluntary refunds in the past and may do so in the future.
U.S. Government contracts are subject to termination by the government, either for the
convenience of the government or for our failure to perform consistent with the terms of the
applicable contract. In the case of a termination for convenience, we are typically entitled to
reimbursement for our allowable costs incurred, plus termination costs and a reasonable profit. If a
contract is terminated by the government for our failure to perform we could be liable for reprocurement
costs incurred by the government in acquiring undelivered goods or services from another source and
for other damages suffered by the government as permitted under the contract.
We are also subject to government investigations of business practices and compliance with
government procurement regulations. If, as a result of any such investigation or other government
investigations (including violations of certain environmental or export laws), Honeywell or one of its
businesses were found to have violated applicable law, it could be suspended from bidding on or
receiving awards of new government contracts, suspended from contract performance pending the
completion of legal proceedings and/or have its export privileges suspended. The U.S. Government
also reserves the right to debar a contractor from receiving new government contracts for fraudulent,
criminal or other egregious misconduct. Debarment generally does not exceed three years.
Our reputation and ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of
employees, vendors, agents or business partners.
We cannot ensure that our extensive compliance controls, policies and procedures will, in all
instances, protect us from reckless, unethical or criminal acts committed by our employees, vendors,
agents or business partners that would violate the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Company
operates, including laws governing payments to government officials, competition, data privacy and
rights of employees. Any improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations, monetary
and non-monetary penalties and could adversely impact our ability to conduct business, results of
operations and reputation.
Changes in legislation or government regulations or policies can have a significant impact
on our results of operations.
The sales and margins of each of our segments are directly impacted by government regulations.
Safety and performance regulations (including mandates of the Federal Aviation Administration and
other similar international regulatory bodies requiring the installation of equipment on aircraft), product
certification requirements and government procurement practices can impact Aerospace sales,
research and development expenditures, operating costs and profitability. The demand for and cost of
providing Automation and Control Solutions products, services and solutions can be impacted by fire,
security, safety, health care, environmental and energy efficiency standards and regulations.
Performance Materials and Technologies results of operations can be affected by environmental
(e.g. government regulation of fluorocarbons), safety and energy efficiency standards and regulations,
while emissions, fuel economy and energy efficiency standards and regulations can impact the
demand for turbochargers in our Transportation Systems segment. Honeywell sells products that
address safety and environmental regulation and a substantial portion of our portfolio is dedicated to
energy efficient products and services. Legislation or regulations regarding areas such as labor and
employment, employee benefit plans, tax, health, safety and environmental matters, import, export and
trade, intellectual property, product certification, and product liability may impact the results of each of
our operating segments and our consolidated results.
Completed acquisitions may not perform as anticipated or be integrated as planned, and
divestitures may not occur as planned.
We regularly review our portfolio of businesses and pursue growth through acquisitions and seek
to divest non-core businesses. We may not be able to complete transactions on favorable terms, on a
timely basis or at all. In addition, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted
19
by (i) the failure of acquired businesses to meet or exceed expected returns, (ii) the discovery of
unanticipated issues or liabilities, (iii) the failure to integrate acquired businesses into Honeywell on
schedule and/or to achieve synergies in the planned amount or within the expected timeframe, (iv) the
inability to dispose of non-core assets and businesses on satisfactory terms and conditions and within
the expected timeframe, and (v) the degree of protection provided by indemnities from sellers of
acquired companies and the obligations under indemnities provided to purchasers of our divested
businesses.
We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of litigation matters, government proceedings
and other contingencies and uncertainties.
We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve
substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to
commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability (including asbestos), prior acquisitions
and divestitures, employment, employee benefits plans, intellectual property, antitrust, import and
export matters and environmental, health and safety matters. Resolution of these matters can be
prolonged and costly, and the ultimate results or judgments are uncertain due to the inherent
uncertainty in litigation and other proceedings. Moreover, our potential liabilities are subject to change
over time due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary
requirements, and we may become subject to or be required to pay damage awards or settlements that
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
While we maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of our insurance coverage may not be
adequate to cover the total amount of all insured claims and liabilities. It also is not possible to obtain
insurance to protect against all our operational risks and liabilities. The incurrence of significant
liabilities for which there is no or insufficient insurance coverage could adversely affect our results of
operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition.
Our operations and the prior operations of predecessor companies expose us to the risk of
material environmental liabilities.
Mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we are subject to
potentially material liabilities related to the remediation of environmental hazards and to claims of
personal injuries or property damages that may be caused by hazardous substance releases and
exposures. We have incurred remedial response and voluntary clean-up costs for site contamination
and are a party to lawsuits and claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including past
production of products containing hazardous substances. Additional lawsuits, claims and costs
involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future. We are subject to various
federal, state, local and foreign government requirements regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations can
impose substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations, and require installation of costly
equipment or operational changes to limit emissions and/or decrease the likelihood of accidental
hazardous substance releases. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, capital and operating costs
to comply with these laws and regulations. In addition, changes in laws, regulations and enforcement
of policies, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or new technology or information
related to individual sites, the establishment of stricter state or federal toxicity standards with respect to
certain contaminants, or the imposition of new clean-up requirements or remedial techniques could
require us to incur costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our financial condition or
results of operations.
Our expenses include significant costs related to employee and retiree health benefits.
With approximately 131,000 employees, including approximately 51,000 in the U.S., our expenses
relating to employee health and retiree health benefits are significant. In recent years, we have
experienced significant increases in certain of these costs, largely as a result of economic factors
beyond our control, in particular, ongoing increases in health care costs well in excess of the rate of
inflation. Continued increasing health-care costs, legislative or regulatory changes, and volatility in
20
discount rates, as well as changes in other assumptions used to calculate retiree health benefit
expenses, may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
Risks related to our defined benefit pension plans may adversely impact our results of
operations and cash flow.
Significant changes in actual investment return on pension assets, discount rates, and other
factors could adversely affect our results of operations and pension contributions in future periods. U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles require that we calculate income or expense for the plans
using actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect assumptions about financial markets and interest
rates, which may change based on economic conditions. Funding requirements for our U.S. pension
plans may become more significant. However, the ultimate amounts to be contributed are dependent
upon, among other things, interest rates, underlying asset returns and the impact of legislative or
regulatory changes related to pension funding obligations. For a discussion regarding the significant
assumptions used to estimate pension expense, including discount rate and the expected long-term
rate of return on plan assets, and how our financial statements can be affected by pension plan
accounting policies, see Critical Accounting Policies included in Item 7. Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Additional tax expense or additional tax exposures could affect our future profitability.
We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Our
domestic and international tax liabilities are dependent, in part, upon the distribution of income among
these different jurisdictions. In 2013, our tax expense represented 26.8 percent of our income before
tax. Our tax expense includes estimates of tax reserves and reflects other estimates and assumptions,
including assessments of future earnings of the Company which could impact the valuation of our
deferred tax assets. Our future results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in the
effective tax rate as a result of a change in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax
rates, changes in the overall profitability of the Company, changes in tax legislation and rates, changes
in generally accepted accounting principles, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and
liabilities, changes in the amount of earnings permanently reinvested offshore, the results of audits and
examinations of previously filed tax returns and continuing assessments of our tax exposures.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Not applicable.
Item 2. Properties
We have approximately 1,300 locations consisting of plants, research laboratories, sales offices
and other facilities. Our headquarters and administrative complex is located in Morris Township, New
Jersey. Our plants are generally located to serve large marketing areas and to provide accessibility to
raw materials and labor pools. Our properties are generally maintained in good operating condition.
Utilization of these plants may vary with sales to customers and other business conditions; however,
no major operating facility is significantly idle. We own or lease warehouses, railroad cars, barges,
automobiles, trucks, airplanes and materials handling and data processing equipment. We also lease
space for administrative and sales staffs. Our properties and equipment are in good operating
condition and are adequate for our present needs. We do not anticipate difficulty in renewing existing
leases as they expire or in finding alternative facilities.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve
substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. See a discussion of environmental,
asbestos and other litigation matters in Note 22 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Financial
Statements.
Environmental Matters Involving Potential Monetary Sanctions in Excess of $100,000
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has alleged that PreCon, Inc., a Honeywell
service provider, failed to comply with certain environmental regulations at a Virginia facility. EPA has
initially calculated the relevant penalty at approximately $180,000, although negotiations are ongoing.
Honeywell includes this allegation because of its contractual relationship with PreCon, Inc. The EPA
has made no allegations against Honeywell.
Although the outcome of the matter discussed above cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not
believe that it will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated
results of operations or operating cash flows.

Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters
and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Honeywells common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Market and dividend
information for Honeywells common stock is included in Note 27 Unaudited Quarterly Financial
Information of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data.
The number of record holders of our common stock at December 31, 2013 was 55,537.
Honeywell purchased 3,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1 per share, in the
quarter ending December 31, 2013. In December 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to a total of $5 billion of Honeywell common stock, which replaced the previously
approved share repurchase program. $5 billion remained available as of December 31, 2013 for
additional share repurchases. Honeywell presently expects to repurchase outstanding shares from time
to time to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans, including future
option exercises, restricted unit vesting and matching contributions under our savings plans. The
amount and timing of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and the level of
operating, financing and other investing activities.
The following table summarizes Honeywells purchase of its common stock, par value $1 per
share, for the three months ended December 31, 2013:

Performance Graph
The following graph compares the five-year cumulative total return on our Common Stock to the
total returns on the Standard & Poors 500 Stock Index and a composite of Standard & Poors
Industrial Conglomerates and Aerospace and Defense indices, on a 60%/40% weighted basis,
respectively (the Composite Index). The weighting of the components of the Composite Index are
based on our segments relative contribution to total segment profit. The selection of the Industrial
Conglomerates component of the Composite Index reflects the diverse and distinct range of non-
aerospace businesses conducted by Honeywell. The annual changes for the five-year period shown in
the graph are based on the assumption that $100 had been invested in Honeywell stock and each
index on December 31, 2008 and that all dividends were reinvested.
